She is interesting

In fact she is a mate but we never got around to anything Douglas before!

Fantastic! If she's s feind no doubt you will be able to talk more about it too!

So how is life with you?

Not too bad

Have a holiday today which is good. A nice long weekend.

Oh and F1 this weekend with the new rules. Only one qualifying lap each so should be interesting. Barichello was quickest in practice which means he gets to go last in the qualifying.

I'm gonna stay up and watch the race on sat night

Sounds good to me - what apart from the GP do you have planned?

I had forgotten it started this weekend

Not sure if I will be able to see it

I'm going to Tesco tomorrow morning and going for a pub lunch on sun with a mate. How about you<?> Anything planned<?>

I've ordered Broadband They are doing a line check and fingers crossed, it should be installed on Thursday

I wonder if by the time you get this you are reading on Broadband!

I am well thanks - life has been really hectic - week in London, very long and heavy week in brum (including 3 working dinners ;-/ ) and then I have been on a conference in Windsor this week

Now I have some time off and have not even planned what I will do.

What has been happening with you?

Well i have broadband but there is something wrong and its being sorted apparently Therefore I'm on dial up

Things aren't too bad though things with C aren't going too well

Might be in London next friday if you are near. How is/was (I forgot to look when you posted!) your time off going<?>

Hi Tonto



I am really sorry to hear all is not well with C - you know how to get hold of me if you want to talk dont you?

I was back at work today (Tuesday) having had a few dasy off work - it was wonderful - I cant believe how littel I did while ruishing round all the while visiting friends etc. It was tough going back to work toady although was at an office nearere the cottage so got at least to come home tonight.

Coz I have not been in the office I am not sure where I am on Froday but probably Brum and then returning to Oxformdshire in the evening - does that fit with your plans at all?

Do have to confess your employers have been in my bad books recently - was without a phone line here for well over a week -fault not fixed properly and then took several days to do - not helped by my not being here

How is work going with you?

Works not going too bad, I'm sorry you had a problem with us, is it sorted now<?>

Change of plan cos I'm not going to London after all, there are loads of train strikes and it will be chaos \I think,m in any case, the thing I was going for has been cancelled. Maybe next time ...

And thanks for the offer, of course I will ring if need be

Yep phone etc all OK now! (you would not be hearing from me here if it was not!)

Sounds like ti was a sensible move not to have to go to London on Friday! Let me know when you are next around it would be good to catch up.

I think I actually have a whole week in the Brum area next week (first one in ages) but not a whole week in the office! Friday night I am there too as I am going on a hen night The on Saturday I am going on holiday via a friends 2 year olds birthday party!

Two whole weeks off - I cant wait!

What have you been up to recently?

Not much. At my parents house now so I'm going to watch the England v's Lichenstein with some mates

Well I hope you have a nice holiday Will you have time and computer to pop in here and visit<?>

I guess that is probably what you are doing right this moment too!

I am not sure if we will have computer access - I somehow doubt it Have booked a holiday cottage on the Suffolk coast

It will be great to get away even if I cant come here

Who are you going to the cottage with<?>

Hello again!

I went to the cottage with a good friend of mine and for the forst week their two children aged 12 and 14! The second week we had the place to ourselves and it was a lot quieter! Had a great time.

How have things been with you? What have you been up to?

I've been all over the place with w**k

went home for easter, it was nice to see my mates and went to a Bengali wedding today

I'm glad you had a good time

A bengali wedding? What does that involve?

So is your work ever going to bring you to Brum?

Occassionally but so far it hasn't bean anything where I could spare some time.

I don't really have a need to go there often

Ironically, we have 2 big offices basically where we met. Of course I was there for the bank and not the tellecomms company so I wouldn't have known. Its just how small the is

Thats a shame! I knew there were offices of yours down there so I did wonder!

Mind you I seem to be spending less and less time in Brum recently! Mind you I am out in town next week

How are things with you?

Not to bad, they are auctioning the building opposite to my house today. There are people everywhere. Its quite exciting.

I don't know why anyone would want it though, its falling down

Went to the pub at lunch to watch the Arsenal only drew which is good

Sounds interesting! I hope who ever gets it does not pay too much as it sounds like they will need to spend a lot of money on it

Who was the footie against - I have a friend who is not an Arnnal fran but was keen for them to win ...
